The pair share the same agent, Jorge Mendes, but Mourinho insists the move will not happen.

"Falcao is a key player of our rivals, as was Sergio Aguero, and there is a kind of non-aggression pact between Atletico and Madrid, therefore I think this is a kind of forbidden subject," Mourinho told A Bola.

"He is a fantastic player and I have a feeling he is a person of the highest level, and I am very happy he is having success at Atletico."
